Chevy equinox ev is $35k and 2026 Nissan leaf is $30k. A lot of slashdotters seem to live years behind the times.

The LCOE of solar accounts for capacity and is lower than any other power source, even natural gas. Battery prices have dropped like an anvil year after year.

Why would you need 4 battery powered tractors to replace 1 diesel? Are you mad? Farm equipment is a perfect situation for EVs because of the low speeds and repetitive start and stop nature.

Why do you lie so much?

What? Lithium phosphate has dropped below $100/kwh, they’re insanely cheap now compared to even a few years ago.

The 2026 Nissan leaf gets 302 miles and costs $30k

You’ve never even driven an EV..

Chevy equinox ev is $35000, the new Nissan leaf is $30000. That’s too expensive? The average new US gas car is $50k.

Prices of batteries has dropped like an anvil especially the last 3-4 years. I’ve seen 75-80% drops in lithium phosphate prices. They fell below the magical $100/kWh threshold.

Even a dirty coal plant is more efficient than a hybrid. You’re an idiot

Nissan leaf is $30k, and used EVs are super cheap.

Why does it take over a decade to bring this to court? This isn’t nuclear fusion research.

Sorry I meant $172 billion. So 10% of GDP.

Your cost numbers are horrifically inflated. Utility scale LFP batteries with BESS cost less than $100/kWh now. 1728 gWh comes to $1.728 billion when rounding up. Australia’s 2024 GDP was $1.72 trillion. That’s literally .1% of annual GDP to supply the entire country with 3 days of battery storage. CATL is going to release sodium ion batteries next year estimated to cost $40/kWh. That cuts the price of storage to less than half.

Toyota EVs unfortunately aren’t built with the same reliability parameters as their ICE or hybrids.
